Procrastinators Anonymous is a fellowship of men and women who share their experience, strength and hope with each other that they may solve their common problem and help others to recover from chronic procrastination.
I'm going to start with a list of a few high-priority tasks: Email about sirtuins
Start comm mtg slides (working on this now)
Stage 2
email about committee
Email about FACs
The one thing, the only thing, i can do impulsively is write something on my todo list.
The one thing, the only thing, i can do off plan is recovery, something to maintain my sobriety, when tempted. I have come to believe that it is more important to maintain sobriety than to get things done.
Abstinence from relying on self. AA Big Book says to rely on God. Quoted in my bookmarks : scroll down to "AA Big Book on fears : relying on God not self-reliance:"
"We need not be discouraged when we
fall into the error of our old ways, for these disciplines are
not easy. We shall look for progress, not for perfection."

I'm really proud of my 26days relying on god not self. But to be too proud of that WOULD be relying on self. God achieved that in me, by transforming me into something i could never have become without his divine intervention in my life. Thank you God!

THINGS I COULD HAVE DONE BETTER
Made more progress in my 4hrs at client. I did get main stuff done, but could have been more efficient and given more complete answer.
Spent (somehow) less time researching business expenses. At >5 min this was off plan. Just realized that :(
Gotten out the door faster.
Figured out how to have my bible study in less time--breaking up in 2 days, perhaps?
THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR (everything i "did well" comes from god, either thru gifts he's given me or the way he's transformed me)
bit bullet and went to client and spent 4hrs.
I am glad i realized that my expense research was off plan.
I'm glad i recognized my snacking as off plan distraction (short)
That i mailed back the stuff. That job is now complete.
Watching tv w/ my family.
Dinner.
Music.
Recovery. Today was a good recovery day.
Thank you so much jalla. If this thread hadn't been here I know I would not have checked in. as for the message, I applied it as best I could late this afternoon when I had achieved nothing. I could not change the fact that I hadn't, nor did I want my despondency to stop me from doing something then. Just have to try each day.
wednesday, then. A new day.
